Got my first ticket in the Nismo

OP, check on the back of your ticket and see if there is an Option #2 to plead guilty but to appear in court. Basically what it is, is you are not contesting the ticket but looking for some mercy from a judge to help with the points. I'm going at the end of the month to do this, but from what I hear is you have to sling sloppy joes at the food shelter or some community service for a weekend in exchange for reducing/eliminating the points.

I think the locals have bitched about people speeding on that road and they stepped up patrols. It's a popular road for bikes and cars.

it is a beautiful road - we have cruized there.
although it was always highly patrolled each time i visit...

Yeah I rarely go to St Albert, I found out after the fact that thats a no no. The photoradar was hiding behind a bus stop on the right of the road heading south up the hill. The sad part was I was ignoring the radar detector because it was Kband :/

No kill stories on here or illegal stuff, but rest assured on a bunch of turns I looked in my mirror and he pushed wide and almost ditched it more than once. So Sunday morning I'm on a great stretch of road all by myself with the radio on and I got nabbed. It's in md but I have a DC license, not sure if the md ticket will put points on my DC license. So I'll pay the 290 dollar ticket plead guilty and see what happens. So I need to dial back and go to the track. I'm almost 50 and the cop was maybe 25, he seemed a bit flummoxed that an "old" was going that fast. Oh well pay to play. This Nismo will get you in trouble!

No Traffic school options??

Yes, my last ticket in Md was in 2001 when I had a MD license, and that's what I did...got PBJ and no points......but that was for only 10 over....I'll probably do the same in case the points travel to my DC license this time. But that will use up a days worth of annual leave too to go to court. But hey its winter so no big deal I'm not going anyplace.

Our cars are fantastic, I do work for Porsche right now, the nismo Z doesnt touch the 991 turbo

Not that it should for the price difference, but there are few cars out there in the world that touch a 911 Turbo.

Dang $290?! That could have bought a nice Coach purse! That is what crosses my mind when I want to really run through the gears

DCNISMO · 11-07-2012, 07:57 PM

On a straight line the 911 would have killed me, no doubt. But this was a twisty road of two lanes with elevation changes plus I have driven it at speed over a thousand times, and I'm not kidding. He pushed wide about 5 times or more and came close to wadding into the ditch. Each time I braked hard before turn entry turn but knew to accelerate as I went through the curve and not brake at the apex. I was accelerating he was braking and I pulled away as he upset the chassis balance and undesteered. I surmise he was a crappy driver in an expensive car. It was fun and I'm under no illusion that the Nismo is better than a 911 but for bring 100k cheaper it did pretty damm well.

That sucks OP

Time to invest in a Radar detector or practice some patience and slow down
